Squeaky clean hit. Don’t cut through the middle with your head down.

Only 2 less points than breadman

Cernak never had the puck my dude. Trouba didn't jump into the hit.

Bunting wasn't even looking to hit anyone. Cernak turned into him and he simply reacted. If Cernak doesn't turn into Bunting there is no hit. Trouba was looking to lay a hit, saw a Devils player and laid him out.

Oh super clean. Just like everything he does. Everyone just happens to put themself in a position to get checked directly in the head at full speed.

Trouba just skates and it just happens.

Gotta give him some credits. He seems to know when its legal or not on the paper.

He knows how to pick situations where the hit is legal, but players in a vulnerable (ie. Dangerous) position.

Unlike some other dumbasses that just hit from the back or target players who are obviously not in play etc

I think the point is that the Devils are generally aware of when Trouba is on the ice because they know the risk of a hit like that. Trouba wasn’t on the ice at the start of Meier’s shift—and only came on when Meier wasn’t looking.

Fair enough, but if Meier didn’t see the Ranger (even if he didn’t know it was Trouba) directly in front of him and it didn’t cross his mind that he might/should/has to get hit there he’s not a smart player. Complete lack of awareness and thinking void.

Would have been head contact first regardless if Timo looks down or not. If somehow this isn't a penalty it will become one in a couple years. These are exactly the type of hits that threaten a players life post-hockey.

Trouba with a large history of predatory hits.

Anyways Rags are out LMAOOO

And what's Trouba supposed to do? Gently tap Meier on the shoulder and say "Hey buddy just an FYI I'm on the ice now"

I'm not going to argue intent. It's very difficult to prove. Trouba's hit was greasy but legal. Bunting's was a clear five+.

 

[Jauffre]

Thought it was penalty on first look before, but it's definitely legal considering Meier ducks kind of late.

Trouba's still an absolute bum.

 

[Cypher]

Well if you're gonna send a message, no better time than the 7th game of the series, in the 3rd period, down 2-0, and laying out the guy with 0 points in the series.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Meier seemed to be pretty cool with him in the handshake line, I think he understands he got caught with his head down. Major respect to Meier.

 

[BudBundy]

Now Trouba can go crush some golf balls.

 

[93gilmour93]

It’s a hard solid clean hit. Head lowered and watching the puck. Keep that head up….

Again Cernak doesn't get hit if he doesn't go into Bunting's path and a 6'4 guy doesn't get clipped in the head by a 6'0 guy unless the taller guy is leaning down. If you watch the hit from the rear view camera angles its clear that Cernak went into Bunting and not vise versa. Also Trouba went full force into Meier while Bunting barely clipped Cernak.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Love that clean hit.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Loser hit by an awful captain. Team gets totally dominated, but at least he injured someone.

I know I was always told, keep your head up and be aware who is on the ice.

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

Clean hit but I have to assume Mier was concussed.

 

[goonybird]

This is the NYR equivalent of 'got respect in the handshake line'

 

[Jozay]

Quite the response from the Devils

 

[unicornpig]

throws big massive hits but cries like a little bitch in post game interviews lol

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Trouba is a goon.

Constantly injuring people.

Surprised he didn't see that mack truck heading straight at him. Ooof

 

[SI90]

Hate Trouba and think he’s a POS but this is by definition a clean hit. Good no call. Hope Meier is ok.
